Flash Player in the Browser support is ending!

Adobe, along with all the major browser vendors (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge) have announced that they will no longer support the Adobe Flash Player™ runtime at the end of 2020. If you are looking to output content to the browser, you should check out our sister project Apache Royale™, which allows you to continue to use ActionScript and output native JavaScript and HTML. Apache Flex output to mobile and desktop platforms through the Adobe AIR runtime provided by Harman is still supported.
